Well, anymore if you want to open shop as a psychologist you will need the masters degree. and you may see a time in the near future where you may need your doctorate. So I would go for the Psych. And if the worse happens you will be grandfathered...

A social welfare degree is the same as a degree in social work. Social work would be working largely for non-profit organizations. A bachelor's in Social Work is pretty much not viable (you need to have an MSW to be certified). If you want to go into counseling adolescents I would go with the MA in Psychology (and eventually a Doctorate). You can specialize in Adolescent Psych and given the opportunity to become certified. A bachelor's in Psych is pretty much useless in counseling as most counseling jobs require certification which you cannot obtain from just a BA in Psychology. Good luck!!

Depending on the licensure laws of the state you're in, a bachelor's degree in social work may get you further than a master's in psychology. In my state, you can be licensed to do therapy under the supervision of a more experienced professional with only a bachelor's in social work. You can also be licensed to do independent practice with a master's in social work, counseling, or marriage and family therapy, but not with a master's in psychology. For psychology, you need a doctoral degree. But, the rules vary from state to state, so definitely research the licensing laws in the state you want to work in before making a decision. I would also talk to advisers in both the psychology and social work departments at your school to find out exactly what you can do with each degree, and don't be afraid to ask questions about similar programs that might better meet your needs. Good luck!

Is getting a master degree in psychology required just a bachelor degree in psychology or certain classes
Is getting a master degree in psychology required just a bachelor degree in psychology or certain classes?
Does applying for Master degree in psychology requires classes like when we transfer classes from community college to university?. for example, say i had my bachelor degree in psychology in the University of A, then i applied for Master degree in psychology online in the University of B. will i be asked to complete more classes to satisfy classes requirements in the University of B? Or having just a bachelor degree in psychology from any university is enough to apply for Master in psychology?

of course, where did you get your masters, where did you

This is all dependent on what the requirements are for the university you are applying to; however most often than not, if you completed a B.A. in Psych, you should have all the core requirements completed for a M.A. Usually, most M.A. programs seek that applicants have completed an introductory course, a research methods course, and a into statistics course. If you got your B.A. in psychology, then you've obviously completed these courses. There are many instances in which you can be "conditionally" accepted into a program, meaning that you are accepted, however you are missing a requirement and must complete that requirement within a certain amount of time. Again, it all depends on the program. My advice to you is to look at the requirements for each school you plan to apply to.

No reason you can't get the masters in psych. I'd suggest checking walden university and the university of phoenix - both offer reasonably priced programs at the masters level - and even into the phd ish level. -dh
2
Yes, it's possible. You'll likely have to take several "foundation" courses or several undergraduate courses in psychology to meet the Graduate program prerequisites, but it's definitely possible.

What kind of practical experience is good for an industrial/organizational psychology master's program
What kind of practical experience is good for an industrial/organizational psychology master's program?
I'm currently working towards my Bachelor's in psychology, and when I graduate I plan on getting my master's in I/O psych. I'm required to do an unpaid practicum before I graduate that is related to my future goals in psychology. I would love to be a "volunteer organizational developer" and all, but that won't work since I don't have any experience in that area. Do you have any ideas?

Your unpaid practicum is also called internship. See if you can get an internship in the Human Relations department of any corporation. If that does not pan out then contact the university you are currently attending and see what businesses they have agreements with, you may be able to find something to gain experience there (not in the exact field you want, but experience counts) Join the Boy/Girl Scouts in some leadership capacity, they are always looking for volunteers and and they are an organization. Plus it would look great on your resume. I have some university friends in the IO field and they managed to get internships in places you would not think to look, such as the Girl Scouts and volunteer Homeless Shelters. If you call these places up, explaining that you are a senior and want to apply your knowledge and gain real life practical experience, I am sure they will jump at the change to have you. And after a few weeks, maybe you can convince them to let you make the jump to the position you REALLY want... unpaid of course. ;->

Try going to Haiti for a day to try and underrstand the people who say they are VooDoo doctors. Try to understand why when the COUNTRY is TEETH GNASHING poor, there is STILL CORRUPTION in government. It's hard! I was there for only a day, and I still cry about it!!

I'm doing an article for an educational website to give prospective educational psychology master's candidates an idea of why they need a master's to do what they'd like to do in this field. Any answers would be most appreciated.

Teach, write books, get a cam corder and go off into the wild and take a few pictures of the wild animals and sell documentaries with your opinions on animal psychology. In your free time, set up a web site that gives free therapy sessions on line. After you get a little notoriety, you can set up an office where you live and charge money for the same thing. You could apply to the local radio and tv stations. Or you could apply to some research lab. You can volunteer at a crisis hotline center. This is just off the top of my head. Government jobs are also nice to have both Fed and local. I was a math major but seriously considered working the Food industry for the Calif University system and also for the Calif DMV. There are all kinds of things out there for you to do. Just keep an open mind. You've got the degrees and no one can take those away from you. You are way way way ahead of the game right now. Pray, and seek God what He would have you do. Maybe something in the ministry. I Cr 13;8a
